  • Saint Leonard Murialdo (1828 – 1900)
    SAINT LEONARD MURIALDO (1828 – 1900). Beatified on 1963 Canonized on 3-5-1970 Early years Leonard Murialdo was born in Turin in 1828, eighth child of a well-to-do family. He lost his father at just four years of age, however he received an excellent Catholic education at the Scolopian College in Savona. As a youth he went through a profound spiritual crisis which converted him and helped him discover his priestly vocation. In Turin he took up his philosophical and theolgical studies. In these years he began to work at the Guardian Angels Oratory, run by his cousin, Fr. Robert Murialdo. With Don Cafasso and Don Bosco Thanks to this collaboration he came directly in touch with the problems of Turinese young people: street children, prisoners, chimney sweeps, shop hands. In 1851, he was ordained priest. He began to work in strict collaboration with Fr. Cafasso and Don Bosco, and took on the administration of the St. Aloysius Oratory at Don Bosco's request. Leonard breathed the preventive system, incarnated it and applied it in all his future educational works. In 1866, he accepted the administration of the Artigianelli College in Turin dedicated to taking in and providing a Catholic and technical education for poor and abandoned boys. He made many journeys throughout Italy, France, and England visiting educational and welfare institutions, to learn, and to address and improve the educational system. Founder of the Giuseppini He was amongst those fostering the first popular Catholic Libraries and Catholic Workers Unions, and would be their ecclesiastical assistant for many years.

  • Liturgical Observations on the Second Vatican Council by a Forgotten Catholic
    QL 97 (2016) 84-103 doi: 10.2143/QL.97.1.3154577 © 2016, all rights reserved LITURGICAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL BY A FORGOTTEN CATHOLIC The Old Catholic Observer’s Perspective on the Liturgical Developments at the Second Vatican Council Introduction Liturgy played a very important role at the Second Vatican Council, as it expressed the council’s direction, both in terms of ecclesiology and in terms of ecumenism, as well as in general.1 Liturgy was also the topic of the council’s first constitution, Sacrosanctum Concilium (4 December 1963); the document led to some of the most visible changes in ecclesial life following the council, and, because it was produced so early on in the council, it provided a point of reference for further discussions.2 Observers, * I am grateful to Mrs. S.C. Smit-Maan, IJmuiden, for preserving the personal papers of P.J. Maan, on which this paper is based, and for granting me access to them. Thanks are also due to the anonymous reviewers of Questions Liturgiques, who suggested a number of im- provements, and to Mrs. S.G. Geerlof-van de Zande, who was kind enough to correct my English, and to the Rev. Ole van Dongen, MA, who offered many suggestions concerning style and content. 1.

  • The Life of Don Michael Rua, the First
    FRANCIS DESRAMAUT LIFE OF FR. MICHAEL RUA DON BOSCO'S FIRST SUCCESSOR (1837-1910) Edited by Aldo Giraudo LAS – ROME 1 Original title: Vie de Don Michel Rua premier successeur de Don Bosco (1837-1910) - © LAS, Rome, 2009. Translated from the French and Italian by a team involving Julian Fox, Robert Coupe, Mary Treacy, John Dickson, Francois Dufour Overall revision of Italian text by Aldo Giraudo based on archival sources 2 INTRODUCTION The centenary of the death of Blessed Michael Rua offers us a chance to take stock of the life of Don Bosco's first successor. The Salesian Family owes much to him. What would it have become without Father Michael Rua? Others in the past have written up his life. Soon after he died, his constant friend, Fr John Baptist Francesia (1838-1930) published a 220 page book, D. Michele Rua, primo successore di Don Bosco (Turin, 1911), its only limitation being perhaps its excessive enthusiasm for its chief character. Later, when the beatification and canonisation process began, a number of testimonies to his virtues ensued. Thus, by the beginning of the 1930s, the editor of the Bollettino Salesiano, Angelo Amadei (1868- 1945), who had easy access to the Central Archives of the Congregation, began gathering a large number of documents which resulted in a monumental three volume work with a total of 2,388 pages, Il Servo di Dio Michele Rua (Turin, 1931-1934). Amadei had kept himself well informed. For example, he even had recourse to the Salesian Sisters' local chronicles. But in a desire to overlook nothing he accumulated testimonies and facts, using a purely chronological criterion to link them year by year, without ever being concerned about putting together a true and proper account.

  • Strenna 2019 «So That My Joy May Be in You » (Jn 15,11) HOLINESS FOR
    Strenna 2019 «So that my joy may be in you » (Jn 15,11) HOLINESS FOR YOU TOO My Dear Brothers and Sisters, my Dear Salesian Family, Continuing our century-old tradition, at the beginning of this New Year 2019 I address myself to each one of you, in every part of the “Salesian world” that as the Salesian Family we constitute in more than 140 countries. I do so while giving a commentary on a subject very familiar to us, with a title taken directly from the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis on the call to holiness in today’s world: Gaudete et Exsultate1. In choosing this subject and this title I want to translate into our own language and in the light of our charismatic sensitivity the strong appeal to holiness that Pope Francis has addressed to the whole Church.2 Therefore I want to emphasise those points that are typically “our own” in the context of our Salesian spirituality, those shared by all the 31 groups of our Salesian Family as the charismatic inheritance received from the Holy Spirit through/by means of our beloved Father Don Bosco, who will certainly help us to live our lives with the same deep joy that comes from the Lord: «So that my joy may be in you » (Jn 15,11). Who are these words addressed to? I can assure you that they are addressed to everyone. To all of you my dear Salesian confreres SDB. To all of you sisters and brothers of the various different congregations and institutes of consecrated and lay life in our Salesian Family.

  • Saint Leonard Murialdo]
    [con titolo per ogni pagina doppia: alla sinistra: PROPER OFFICES alla destra: SAINT LEONARD MURIALDO] 18 May Saint LEONARD MURIALDO priest Optional Memorial He was born at Turin on 26 October 1828 into a well-to-do family. A friend and collaborator of Don Bosco, he dedicated himself to the Christian formation of poor youngsters, orphans and the abandoned, starting up with great faith and courage many initiatives at a social, spiritual, cultural and legal level. He also had a hand in the foundation and running of organizations for Catholic workers. He founded a Congregation which he dedicated to Saint Joseph (Josephites of Murialdo) to continue the apostolate among the young and the poor in the spirit of the humble artisan of Nazareth, the educator of Jesus. He died at Turin on 30 March 1900, and was canonised by Paul VI on 3 May 1970. From the Common of Saints: religious; or the Common of Pastors with psalms from the day as in the Psalter. Office of Readings SECOND READING From the writings of St Leonard Murialdo, priest (Conference of 1869; Mss., III, 397,7-10) Predilection for poor and abandoned youth We have special motives for rejoicing in our mission, motives arising from the nature of the young people to whom we give our special attention. Who are they? The poor and the abandoned: there you have two requisites that make a youngster one of ours; and the poorer and more abandoned he is, so much the more is he ours. Poor and abandoned! How wonderful is the mission of caring for the education of the poor! And more wonderful still is that of seeking out, of succouring, of educating, of saving for time and eternity, the poor who are abandoned, abandoned from a moral aspect if not materially.

A Short Life of Blessed Marcantonio Durando (1801-1880) By a group of Nazarene Sisters Turin, Italy 1. The family: childhood and youth The Durandos were a respected and wealthy family in Mondovì. They had ten children, of whom two died in infancy. Marcantonio was born on 22 May 1801. The family atmosphere was one of liberalism tainted with secularism, even if not always with real anticlericalism. The mother, Angela Vinaj, however, was very religious and rich in Christian virtues, and there is no doubt that she had great influence on her son Marcantonio. She saw to it that he was brought up more carefully because she detected real openness in him. Marcantonio’s lifestyle was clearly marked by his mother’s influence.

Pancalieri, land of industrious people with its mill and parish church, with the square where every day’s tale flows and from the countryside that surrounds it an exciting perfume of mint rises. Now, the perfume of Heaven rises and it’s you, dear country parish Priest, who in these hours we contemplate together with the Saints in Heaven. “How much effort in sowing...”. You have not used your theological learning to stand out with the words, the people could have said: how wise is our parish Priest! Not even those who flocked to have advice, and they were important peo - ple, led you away from looking in the eye, reading in the heart of your worshippers. You have been with them, because you have discovered in your parish priest’s life those who were not seeking you, but Him. “They are all seeking you” the apostles were telling Jesus. This you have done. You have led to Jesus all those who were seeking him, and also, but especially, those who weren’t thin - king about it. As He did you spent the nights praying. 3 You have told your Daughters, the poor Daughters of St. Cajetan: “give them food” and with your faith and their faith they have found a plate, a loaf.
